~ Ni hao! Since first visiting
China in 2004, first as a tourist and then as a teacher, I have become
fascinated with the country. It is crucial that American teachers and
students learn about China, as our two countries' futures are intertwined.
With this website, I aim to help Americans learn about China. By teaching
in China, I introduce Chinese teachers and students to the United States.
With knowledge about each others' cultures, I hope we can overcome fear
and prejudice and forge positive and mutually beneficial relationships
between our two countries. ~ This website provides photographs
to analyze, poetry to discuss, and websites
from which to learn. Most of this information focuses on modern China
(since 1900), although some references to ancient Chinese history and
culture are present.

“On a personal level, to learn about another
great culture is to enrich one’s life, to understand one’s
own country better, to feel more at home in the world, and indirectly
to add to that reservoir of individual goodwill that, many generations
from now, temper the cynical use of national power.” - Vikram Seth
